DID MONEY
Currency Commission of
American Association Is
Against New Measure.
THINK HARDSHIPS
WILL BE RESULT
BOSTON. MASS., Oct. 8. The cur
rency commission of the American
Bankers' association reporting to
day to the convention in session here,
reported that it favored the old mon
etary commission bill and opposed the
currency measure now before congress
for the following reasons:
Because under the old. plan invest
ment by bankers in tne stock of the
central reserve association was elective,
not compulsory; whereas, under the
proposed bill bankers must subscribe
one-fifth of their capital stock to the
federal reserve banks or go out of busi
ness. Because, under the old plan money
invested in the stock of the central re
serve association was tinder the con
trol of the banks investing; whereas,
under the proposed bill the federal re
serve board held control.
The report of the commission is
signed by A. Barton Hepburn, chair
man of the Chase National bank of
New York, as chairman of the commis
sion; James B. Forgan, president of the
.First National bank of Chicago, vice
chairman, and other members of the
commission.
Sill Imposes Hardships.
In part, the report reads as follows:
"The bill in its present form imposes
unwise hardships upon the banks, and
equally unwise hardships upon the gen
eral public No injury can be inflicted
upon the one without the other also
suffering.
"The banks are required to subscribe
to the federal reserve banks an amount
equal to SO percent of their capital,
one-half of which must be paid in at
once, the other half being subject to
calL This i3 to be taken over and
placed under the management of a
corporation in which the banks have
not only a minority representation, but
a very limited voice. In return for
capital thus appropriated, the banks
receive a certificate over which none
of the usual rights of property can be
exercised. The banks are obliged to
make this subscription or be dissolved.
Charters have ever been regarded in
the nature of a contract, and it. is
doafett."4fn -uiiil'ji1 uut constitution the
government can take away the charter
of a bank In this summary manner.
"There is no provision whereby a
bank which subscribes money to the
capital of the federal reserve bank
can recover the same, except by liqui
dation, either voluntary or enforced. i
"A bank is given a maximum return I
of i percent upon capital EUDscriDea u
earned. If the government can appro
priate one-tenth of a bank's capital
in the manner provided by this bill,
they may appropriate one-tenth next
year and so on until the capital is all
transferred to the government. If they
can fix the compensation at 6 percent I
this year, they make it 4 percent next
year, and 3 percent, 2 percent, 1 per
cent, or nothing a Tery simple and
easy process whereby the entire cap
ital of the banks may be transferred
to the government.
Must Act for Protection.
"We have recounted the condition
which confronts us to that provision
of the pending measure in order to
impress upon the banks the fact that
we have reached a point where we
must act in our own interests and for
our own protection.
"It has been proclaimed in congress
that many features of the pending
measure are similar to provisions of
the bill reoorted by the national mon
etary commission which the bankers j
in cunieiuiuu apyiuicu. xuc qucauuji
is asked, why, if the banks approved
such provisions in the soealled Aldrich
bill, do they oppose similar provisions
in the socailed Glass-Owen bill? This
is the reason:
"(a.) Investment in the stock of the
central reserve associations created by
the bill of the national monetary com
mission was permissive, not compul
sory. "(b.) Under the terms of the bill of
the national monetary commission con
troled the management of the central
reserve association.
''The fact that the bankers control
the central reserve association was a
guarantee against incompetent man
agement important respects wherein
the pending measure is lacking."
Reynold's Attack New BIIL
Arthur Reynolds, of Des Moines,
Iowa, first vice president of the Ameri
can Bankers' association, and because
of the president's death during the year,
its ranking officer, characterised to
day as an unnecessary and unjust In
vasion of the liberty of the citizen cer
tain features of the administration's
pending currency bill. He said In part:
"Today we are facing proposed leg
islation which I can hardly regard less
than, an invasion of the citizen in the
control of his own property by putting
tinder government management enor
mous individual investments and a
branch, of the country's business which
should be left to individual effort
"It will readily be recognized that
men trained in the banking business
and conversant with the necessities of
the borrowing public, as well as its
ability to liquidate Its obligations,
could act with better information and
clearer Judgment than political ap
pointees. Banking Credits Not Restricted.
"T do not believe that banking credits
in this country are restricted, or that
banks are at the present time giving
credit to those who are not legitimately
entitled to it.
"It is my belief that this proposed
method of redistribtuing reserves will
work a large and unnecessary contra
diction of credits and a consequent
hardship upon many banks and indi
viduals. "There Is no reason why the govern
ment should be involved in the circu

Officials Attacked by Strik
ers and 'Fight Lasts For
Two Hours.
THEEE WOUNDED ;
MILITIA ARRIVES
L
UDLOW, Colo., Oct. S- Begin
ning at 3:30 oclock yesterday
afternoon a battle waged be
tween scores of striking coal miners
and mine guards at the tent colony
here, in which one guard was shot
through the leg, two strikers were
-wounded, two horses were killed from
under the mine guards, many houses
were riddled with bullets, and no
strikers were injured.
The fight came to an end two hours
later, a few minutes before the arrival
here of sheriff Grlsham. at the head
of five undersheriffs and 22 members
of the state militia, who had been
deputized as sheriffs.
The trouble between the union men
and the mine eruards started when the
chief electrician and the superintendent I
of the Victor mine passed tne tent
colony in an automobile, bound for
Hastings. As the machine entered the
zone controled by the strikers sev
eral shots were fired at them. Bullets
penetrated the engine hood of the car
bnt did not strike the occupants. They
immediately turned back to the Vic
tor property and obtained an escort
of six mounted and armed guards, and
resumed their journey.
The Second Attack.
Again, as the car and Its guards
reached the tent colony, shots were
fired at them, this time from scores
of rifles. For an hour or more the
fight continued at a range of from one
half to three-quarters of a mile, prac
tically bullet range between the guards
on one side and the miners on the
other, when the reinforcements arrived
for the guards.
The battle centered about the .Colo
rado and Southern railway station,
which was riddled with bullets. Many
narrow escapes from death or Injury
from wild firing are reported. The
miners drove the guards back from
the station and began to use the box
cars and other obstructions as barri
cades from which they fought.
Battle Lasts Two Hours.
The firing continued until ahput
oeleek, when It stopped, seemingly be
cause there was no one left for either
side to shoot at. and the mine guards
returned to the victor property, carry
ing their wounded companion.
When the battle was at its height,
mine officials telephoned to Trinidad
for assistance from Las Animas county.
Sheriff Grlsham immediately swore in
deputies and, upon learning the truth
of the report and tne evident serious
ness of the fight, suggested that the
members of the state militia company
accompany him. Accordingly, Capt
Foreman, of the Trinidad company,
communicated -with governor Ammons,
in Denver, and was Instructed to permit
as many of the militia to so with the
sheriff as deputies as chose to go.
Sheriff Arrives Late.
Upon the arrival of the sneriffs party
here, it found everything in the strik
ers' camp as peaceful as though noth
ing unusual had occurred. Only the
bodies of the two dead horses lying
about the railroad station and scores
of gun 'shells upon the ground gave
evidence of the riot.
Sheriff Grlsham said he would insti
tute an investigation in an attempt to
learn the names of the ringleaders of
the attack on the company men. The
sheriff stated that he would leave a
number of the national guardsmen in
Ludlow to patrol the colony for a time,
in an endeavor to prevent further riot
ing in the Ludlow camp.
It is in this camp that most of the
violence attendant upon the strike has
been perpetrated and the sheriff de
clares he is determined to stamp it
out.
Five Greeks Arrested.
Five Greek strikers were arrested
last night by sheriff Grisham, charged
with being instigators of the riot. They
were taken to Trinidad by a deputy.
Sheriff Grisham stated that he intended
to make more arrests today, when the
connection between certain strikers and
the fight could be more firmly estab
lished. It is said here that an arrest
has been made in Trinidad of a man
who is suspected of having killed mar
shal Lee at Segundo on the second day
of the strike.
Disarming- Everybody.
An order that all persons be dis
armed was issued today by. the local
authorities as a result of the battle late
yesterday.
The Trinidad national guard com
pany, commanded by Capt. E. J. Fore
man, is being held in readiness for
emergencies.
Frank J. Hayes, vice president of the
United Mine "Workers, today instituted
an investigation of the shooting.
Battle at Billings.
Lafayette. Colo., Oct. 8. Billings, the
property of the Standard Mining com
pany, near here, last night was the tar
get of three volleys from rifles of
groups of men who drove rapidly by
the company buildings. Their fire was
returned by mine guards, but so far as
could be learned no'one was injured.
Late in the day, at a closed meeting
of the board of county commissioners,
secretary Thomas, of the Longmont
Commercial assdclation; mayor Arm
strong and several prominent citizens
were appointed a committee to go to
Denver to endeavor to have the militia
go into Boulder county to preserve or
der. Last night sheriff Buster and a posse
of deputies went to the Standard mine,
after receiving the report of the "bat
tle" and investigated the affair. The
sheriff announced the attack as the
work of strikers. No arrests have been
made.

cross exan Ination at the impeachment
trial today, told how he had practically
destroyed all of the check books, check
stubs and memoranda In connection
with contributions to the governor's
campaign fund, which were in his pos
session. He also admitted omitting the con
tributions of : rominent brewers from
the campaign statement, which he said
he prepared and which the governor
swore to and filed with the secretary
of state.
Sarecky declared he had no bank ac
count in which he placed campaign
contributions except that in the Mutual
Alliance Trust company in New York.
Sarecky Shoulders Blnme.
Louis A. Sarecky. the governor's
campaign secretary, shouldered the
blame for the omission of unreported
contributions from the governor's cam

born In Russia, and never naturalized,
had been promoted from the position
of the governor's stenographer to the
head of the deportation bureau of tha
state hosnital commission.
Sarecky. much heralded as the gov
ernor's star witness, took the stand
amid a craning of necks and a buzz of
expectancy. He spoke in a high, piping
voice and his answers came, almost uni
formly, without hesitation.
"We received either from Tammanv
Hall or from the secretarv of state."
began Sarecky. "a blank form In which
a statement was made out of receipts
and expenditures of campaign contri

American Women Tailors
Get French Designs and
Then Make Them Better.
GARMENT MAKERS GO
WITH HAT IN HAND
By Frederic J. Haskin.
WASHINGTON, D. C Oct. 8.
If the woman, looking over the
new fall models in the depart
ment stores and the readytowear shops,
could trace, a particular gown from the
sliow window, where it first challenges
her interest, back to its origin in a
Parisian atelier, she would be thrice
armed for the , "discussions tha, in
evitably will rage It when the gown
becomes her own.
Women's wear is the subject of more
discussion in the United States today
than any other topic. Tariff and cur
rency reform, the stock market and
the cost of living, equal suffrage and
the new dances all have but a minor
share In the flood of spoken and writ
ten language that centers in the vor
tex of the prevailing fashions.
Paris Holds Out Against Siege.
The fashions come from Paris. In
the minds of many Americans that is
the worst that can be sajd about them.
The movement for American fashions
for American women-already has at
tained the proportions of a hardy revo
lution, but as yet the citadel of the
Parisian mode holds out against the
siege. That citadel is the readytowear
garment manufacturing industry.
Dressmakers in increasing number,
even tailors, are preferring American
modes. The woman who makes her own
dress for obvious reasons never has
been a slave of Paris. It may be that
i she attempted much, but it was be-
I yond her power to achieve. .But the
I readytowear garment maker, In the
J furious competition of his rapidly ex-
yu.uuiiif iraut? circles, uiuai i;iui& m
Paris- in self-defence.
Designers Ransack History for Idens.
Now to trace the gown In the shop
window: A. Parisian designer ransacks
the whole history of costume for ideas.
He studies the old masters. He knows
more of sculpture than the sculptor. He
is at once an antiquarian and a his
torian. He is a Journalist, too, for he
receives inspiration from current events
"tlW world ar6tmd.-WIrness last year

colors and loose lines. "Witness this
year the use of the same colors, soft

Chinese and Turkish traditions. The
war in the Balkans and the republican
revolution in China had the direct re
sult within a 12-month of changing the
costume of every high school girl in
the "United States. This because the
Parisian designer is a despot. His sway
is absolute, and millions ofAmerican
women wear what he tells them to
"wear, without, questioning.
Americans Go Seeking Favors.
Representatives of American gar
ment makers and buyers- from American
stores crowd into Paris on the eve
of the appointed season when the de
signers will release their new cre
ations. They go not as free customers
to a free market. Doors do not swing
open at their approach. They are as
men seeking favors, not conferring
them. If they represent large houses,
or have established connections, they
will obtain with but little difficulty
tickets that will admit them to the
opening. If they come from new or
smaller concerns, they must beg, whee
dle, cajole, some mighty Frenchman
for the mere privilege of looking at
his models and of buying such as are
rejected by the more favored custom
ers. Manufacturers Act Qnlckly.
The buyer for the garment maker
succeeds by one way or another in get
ting a few precious Parisian models.
With no thought of economy he ca
bles to New York the result of his
quest. He describes his model and.
more important, gives details of the
materials of which It is made and his
opinions concerning the cloths that
will be fashionable in the coming sea
son. This, that the manufacturers may
rush forth into the piece goods market
and buy.

down perhaps, adapts it, and produces
maybe a dozen different gowns, all
based on the one original.
Samples Made for Market.
A sample of each of these dozen
gowns Is made up. covering as wide a
range In color and fabric as is permit
ted by the general fashions of the
particular season. Perhaps the untu
tored man or woman nine times out of
ten would select the 12 American mod
els as more beautiful than the one
Parisian, but. after all. the central
idea, tho motif, came from the French
capital. Now the designer's work is
done. The ideas are wrought, and
the market must be attacked.

Capital at C- P. Diaz With

CLAIM THEY HAVE
SET FEDERAL TRAP
C.
P. DIAZ, MEX, Oct. S. Without
firing a shot, federal soldiers
took possession of C P. Diaz,
erstwhile provisional capital of the
"Constitutionalists," and ended the vic
torious march of the federal army of
Gen. Maas through the state of Coa
huila, the home of Venustiano Car
ranza, revolutionary commander in
chief, who has fled to Sonora.
Except for four stragglers who were
'cut down by federal cavalry while they
were attempting' to escape across the
border to Eagle Pass, all the rebel
troops hastily marched away with the
approach of the "government army.
They were not pursued.
The ' federals were sighted shortly
afternoon on a hill top two miles out
side the city, where cannon were be
ing planted. When all was -ready for
the attack, a cavalry troop was sent

Alameda to the deserted rebel admin
istration building, and took possession.
Today the city is policed by troopers
and there has been no looting.
Dispatches Indicate that the rebel
army is badly scattered and broken in
spirit, while others state that the sev
eral bands still are intact and march
ing .toward ar'comrnon point to re-form
and renew the campaign. Monclova and
Cuatro Clenegas, in the central part df
the state of Coahuila, still are under
rebel rule. It is understood, while pri
vate dispatches from rebel sources, re
ceived at Laredo, report that the im
portant pity of Torreon, in the the
southern part of the state, has been
taken by the rebels.
Venustiano Carranza, governor of
Coahuila, when he proclaimed a revo
lution against president Huerta, left
C P. Diaz three months ago, ostensibly
to take command of the rebel forces
around Torreon. From that point he
went westward into the state of Sonora.
A number of his lieutenants, including
Jesus Carranza, his brother, and sec
ond in command, remained In C P.
Diaz until a few days ago, when they

der, where they were to oppose the,
advancing federals, though no battle
was fought.
' Before marching his men from C. P.
Diaz yesterday afternoon, "Col." Her
rera, the rebel commander, ordered
the people of the city assembled in
the public square and pleaded with
them to remain loyal to. the rebel cause,
promising that federal rule would b
short lived. The evacuation of the
city, he said, was part of a plan to
cut off Gen. Maas- from his base of
supplies. The main body of the revo
lutionary forces that fled from here
is reported concentrated-at San Juan,
30 mlmles south of the border.
It Is estimated that at least .000
refugees from here and nearby settle
ments are being cared for in Eagle

in quarantine camps. Practically all
the women and children of this place
and the Immediate vicinity are among
the refugees in Eagle Pass.
NO WATER IN DITCH
UNTIL NEXT SPRING
Project Engineer I. M. Lawson Says It
"Will Be Necessary to "Work on the
Canal; Some Farmers Complain.
No water will be turned into Irriga

United States reclamation service be
fore next spring, says L. M. Lawson.
project engineer, according to present
plans. Several complaints against the
proposed action of the reclamation men
have already been made by farmers
east of El Paso, though it Is said that
a majority of the fruit and alfalfa
raisers down the valley are upholding
the reclamation service in the matter.
"I have canvassed the farmers be
low here," said Mr. Lawson Wednesday,
"and most of them are willing to wait,
until early spring for their water, we
are able to work on the canal only
about three months in every year and
the coming winter months seem tho
best time to do it If water from tha
river were turned into the canal now,
or as soon as there is water in the
Rio Grande, it would take from 30 to
60 days for them to dry out, so we
could start cleaning and repairing them.
"Before we could begin to finisTT this
work, which is necessary. It would be
time to begin giving the farmers water
for spring irrigation, when they need
it more than they do now. Besides,
before long the water will be too cold
to benefit the land over which it would
be sent it would be much more ex
pensive both for the government and
the farmers, to open the canals at this
time instead of waiting until spring."
Excited by the news that there would
goon be water in the Rio Grande, sev
eral fruit-farm owners below Ysleta
asked The Herald Wednesday If the
